On Wednesday, the House Natural Resources committee will vote on an enormous National Heritage Areas land grab bill that would empower and enrich anti-property rights special interest groups.
We must ACT NOW to stop it!
Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) plans to quietly introduce the "Celebrating
America's Heritage Act" which would create six, count them SIX, new national
heritage areas, including the highly controversial "Journey Through Hallowed
Ground" heritage area. The elitist special interest groups lobbying for
this bill already received a sweetheart one million dollar earmark,
presumably from Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), to lobby for his pet, land grab project. Now they stand to get another $15 million should the Grijalva bill pass. Money they will spend lobbying for property rights restrictions.
Should Grijalva's bill become law, anti-property rights interest groups and
the National Park Service will have the power to force land use restrictions
on countless property owners across the nation.
National Heritage Areas are preservation zones, with boundaries, run by the
National Park Service in "public/private" partnerships with green special interest groups. The groups get millions of tax dollars for the sole
purpose of lobbying local governments to strip landowners of their property rights.
This bill must be stopped!!!
As Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) describes National Heritage Areas:
³[Once] a federal line is drawn around property for a heritage area, the
door for annual federal earmarks and grants is opened...When the federal government draws a federal line around private property, negative impacts on
the private property owner will always result."
ACT NOW! MAKE AS MANY PHONE CALLS AS YOU CAN!

Act."
